About GWIS

George Washington International School (GWIS) is a 1st through 12th grade private school located in Orlando, Florida. United States and international faculty form a rich community that seeks to nurture and encourage students as well as educate them. Our student body will be comprised of local students, often coming from home-schooling or small private schools, as well as international students transferring from their home countries.

GWIS is dedicated to providing a challenging curriculum to thoroughly prepare our students for college level studies, and fostering a lifelong love for learning. We recognize that students today face a daunting task in understanding our complex world. This is especially true with international students who may not be as fluent with the English language. Even with the best of intentions, students without a proper support network often experience loneliness and lack confidence, self-esteem and motivation. Each program at GWIS is aimed towards helping students become comfortable learning and in being learners.

We understand that beyond the admissions process, there are many challenges awaiting the student; language barriers and differences among educational cultures and backgrounds can prevent even the best student from living up to his or her potential. Our staff and faculty are familiar with the complexities that each student can face, and their help can be the difference between success or failure at an institution of higher learning. Our guarantee is to provide a competitive and quality education to students, so that they can secure a high school diploma in the United States, and achieve admission to a college and university.
